Mani, re:<Whose chipset and MB is this?>

That's a good question, and I was surprised, it was not asked in the interview. My guess is that it could be from Hotrail.

You asked in one of your posts to Ted, if there was any confirmation on NEC Athlon systems. I've seen a NEC Athlon advertisement in this week's Best Buy flyer. It's an Athlon 500MHz system for $750 after $530 rebates! A color Printer and a 17" Monitor are included in the system price.

It could be AMD's Irongate proliferation that can support two processors on one north bridge, plus DDR SDRAM. It's definitely not HotRail's chipset, unless they're working on a two-way chipset in addition to their switched fabric 8-way platform.
